A Linn man and Jefferson City woman have been charged in connection with a June drug case in the Capital City.
Nathan Wilson, 33, is charged with delivery of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Caysee Temmen, 20, is charged with possession of a controlled substance.
Officers were conducting surveillance June 2 in the 1600 block of Jefferson Street due to the "high frequency of narcotics related activity in the area," according to Jefferson City Police Department reports.
Officers identified two vehicles and multiple individuals exhibiting behaviors they said were consistent with distribution of illegal narcotics including hand-to-hand transactions.
Temmen and Wilson were stopped in one of the vehicles for displaying the plates of another vehicle. Officers said the two made movements appearing that they were trying to hide something.
An officer noticed a digital scale in the front seat of the vehicle, and a further search turned up a plastic bag which contained more than 1 ounce of methamphetamine.
Authorities said Wilson and Temmen were involved in distribution of illegal drugs near a city park.
Court records show Wilson has numerous arrests for narcotics-related activity and has narcotics cases pending in Cole County and other jurisdictions.
Authorities said they have other pending cases against Temmen, although online court records do not show those cases.
